McRoyale Essentials
by devBramCraft
McRoyale Essentials gives players a set of quality-of-life tools modeled on the features of minigame servers such as the McRoyale and CPvP networks.
What it does
The mod groups several PvP-oriented helpers into one client install. Players can enlarge totems, see glowing player heads, choose the color of that glow, and watch a live counter of player heads on a dedicated screen. Each of these helpers is a separate module, and any module can be switched off when it is not wanted.
It is a client-side only mod, so only the player needs it and servers run without it. The code is licensed under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, both targeting 1.21.11 only. The latest Fabric and Quilt builds are version 1.0, dated 2026-07-25, and the mod first appeared on 2026-07-13.
Key features
Bigger totems
Totem of undying visuals can be enlarged on screen, which makes the item easier to spot during a fight.
Glowing player heads
Player heads can be outlined with a glow, so opponents stay visible at a distance or behind cover.
Customizable glow color
The color of the player glow can be set by the player, rather than fixed by the mod.
Live head counter
A dedicated screen shows a running count of player heads, updated as the match goes on.
Toggleable modules
Each helper can be turned off on its own, so a player keeps only the parts they want.

Use cases
Minigame servers
Players who join PvP minigame servers can use the same helpers the mod was built around.
Who it’s for: Players who take part in PvP minigames and want the on-screen tools those servers offer, without relying on the server to supply them.
How it compares
Glow Player Heads is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11, under All rights reserved and not open source, so it covers only the glow part. SimpleGlowing is a client and server mod for Fabric 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, so both sides must run it, which McRoyale Essentials does not require. Glow Up! is a Fabric, Forge and Quilt mod for 1.21, and it is server required with the client optional, the reverse of McRoyale Essentials, which needs only the client.
